Attempt to rise above the French generating rude looks (5)

I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Fifteensquared have:

GO (attempt, as in “have a go) reversed (to rise = upwards in a down clue), then LES (plural form of “the” in French). Ogle = usually a verb (to look lustfully at someone), but it can also be a noun (a lustful look).
